I Robert Capron of Newma in the County of Hampshire and District of Milne do testify and say that Oliver Eaton of Milton in said County of Hampshire Esq. is to me well known and that I well know the same Oliver Eaton to be a private soldier in the War of the Revolution of the United States of America under the continental establishment and that the said Eaton did belong to the second Regiment in the New Hampshire line commanded by Colonel George Reed. The time the said Eaton entered said service is to me unknown as I then belonged to the first Reg- iment in the said New Hampshire line. The first of my acquaintance with the said Eaton was in the fall of the year A D 1782 and will know that he did serve as a soldier in said second Regiment until the time that the men who were enlisted for during the war were discharged. The said Oliver Eaton was then transferred into the Company commanded by Captain Isaac Faye in the New Hampshire Regi- ment, being the same Company to which I belonged and the said Eaton did continue to do duty as a soldier in said Company until the last of December seventeen hundred and eighty three
